It really all comes down to how you develop for a MeeGo based product. Sure if your focus is on selling software in an App Store and that is the only way you intend to create/market/deliver your app, then you are really bound by what is considered compliant or not and you have to design for that. However, if you have say a community repo, there is nothing to stop you from posting it with deps to the community repo. Folks can then yum install to their hearts content. The difference here is really between a community driven Linux distribution versus commercial consumer products in specific vertical markets. IMHO there is room for both.
